Alabama River
![]() | ![]() | |
As one of the major rivers in the state for transportaion, the river was dammed to support this industry. The parts below Claiborn dam are the free-flowing parts where the character of the river is pretty much unchanged aside from the dredging. The Alabama River is named for the Indian tribe of the same name who occupied the area at the confluence of the Coosa and Tallapoosa. The name Alabama comes from the Choctaw Alba, "plants" or "weeds" and Amo, "to cut" or "to trim" meaning "to clear the land" or "thicket clearers". (Read) The Alabama River, as its name suggests, is the heart river of the state. The Alabama serves as the unifier of Alabama's Eastern Rivers, the Coosa and Tallapoosa and her western rivers, the Cahaba, Black Warrior and Tombigbee.
